Hello, I am currently in Hiroshima and experiencing some kind of virus symptoms and the worst throat ache of my life (maybe because it’s so dry). And I need an English speaking hospital to explain myself - any recommendations? Thank you in advance

Hello everyone, is there any hospital or clinic I could go to in Hiroshima that accepts foreigners or tourists? I have 2 face stitches that require removal (due to a removal of a rapidly growing mole)

thank you in advance!

This is called Mitaki dera. You can feel Japanese nature history atmosphere . This place is not so far from peace memorials park. Have a good trip!

Will most restaurants be closed on January 2? I bought tickets for the Peace Memorial Museum on 1/2. We are taking a day trip from Osaka and was hoping to grab a meal or two there, but every restaurant I look at is closed for the holidays. I know this is common but was hoping there may be something open. Anyone have any recommendations? Should we pack our own food?

How do people in Hiroshima typically celebrate new year's eve? I have been few years in Hiroshima, but I have always been away from Japan during new years eve.

Would you suggest I make reservations for two bikes? My boyfriend and I will be visiting 12/6-12/10. Thanks!

What is the average cost of a Ball & Chain cross-body such as this one or this one in Japan? And what stores locally would carry it (does this brand have their own stores? Or is it sold at specific malls?). How much money should I be prepared to pay for something cute like the one I linked?

Thank you!

Is there any english speaking classes or baby activity classes one could join? I am a foreigner stay at home mom, and need outdoor activities. Since I do not speak japanese, I am looking for english speaking clubs.

For those planning to travel to Hiroshima or who have been there before: What transportation did you use to get around the city?

I am traveling to Hiroshima tomorrow from Osaka but will be making stops along the way. I was planning on shipping my luggage directly to my hotel in Hiroshima but they say they don’t offer that service. I am wondering if there is a place near or at Hiroshima station where I could get my luggage shipped?

“There are many international tourists visiting Hiroshima. I’d like to understand what makes Hiroshima so appealing to them.”

Hello! I live in the United States but my heart is very much drawn to Hiroshima prefecture and I want to be friends with someone who lives there. Maybe that’s you, or someone you know?

I would like to know about your daily life in Hiroshima. What you like about it. What you don’t like. All sorts of things related to the area and culture. It would be great if you were a Carp fan because we would already have that in common. I watch all their games on tv.

I’m a single man in my 40’s. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or woman. I’m just looking for friendly correspondence, but it would be awesome to form a lasting relationship.

This is only for people who currently live in Hiroshima prefecture. Thank you for your time!

Giveaways happening on Instagram and Twitter, great excuse to check out Peace Wing if you haven't yet.

Please tell me I wanna help all of travelers.

We are foreign family moving to hiroshima. I need advice on where we could buy good but cheap furniture and baby stuff.

Hoping to get a bit more than Bookoff would offer, as they only go up to about 20% of the items value apparently. Is there a local buy/sell site somewhere?

I am just planning ahead in the event I couldn't get any tickets to the opening series against the Tigers.

I am currently in the Hiroshima Peace Musuem. I am here with two siblings, a family friend and my mother. I entered the musuem thinking it would be distressing but I never expected to be this upset by the content.

I am autistic, I have quite intense emotions and have trouble trying to hold them in which leads me to shake/whimper whenever I am intensely upset. And I am not loud, I followed the rules to a T in the musuem and didn't go any louder than the squick of someone's shoe.

However, after a very painful part of the exhibit involving the remains of children, I had to sit down on the nearest bench and put my head in my hands to calm down before continuing. Then, my mother came up to me and whispered in my ear something on the lines of "Pull yourself together, this is not your history and you being so visibly upset is disrespectful. You are making this all about you and it's offensive and embarrassing. No-one else is getting this upset, so you should just man-up and stop putting so much attention on yourself."

I was honestly trying my hardest not to cry and I was seriously putting in so much effort into not breaking down in tears, however what my mother said really worried me. My mother told me other people were becoming angry with me and only she had the guts to say it. My siblings didn't seem to notice which I found odd because they are the usually the ones who tell me when I am doing something horrible.

Right now, I am distressed. Not only by the content of the musuem but also by the fear I have deeply upset the people of this city by being this upset by this experience.

So to the people of Hiroshima, I deeply apologise for any offense I have caused. I am sorry I made your history about myself. If not, I am sorry none the less. Is what my mother said true or am I just freaking out and making a mountain out of a mole hill? I don't know, I am trying not to cry and I am in pure shock. I am sorry.

Longshot, but anyone know a place (maybe a bar frequented by expats?) that’ll be televising US presidential tv coverage tomorrow? Appreciate any pointers!

Hi! We are travelling to Hiroshima in February and would really like to eat souffle pancakes for breakfast there. We loved Benitsuru in Tokyo and are looking for something similar. I also went to Happy pancake in Sapporo and they were very good. I saw there is a Happy pancake place here, but it says it is temporary closed. Does anyone have any information on that? Are there any other similar places we could go to? Thanks!
